Today, they lead to Beijing.'</b><br><b><i><br></i></b>When <i>The Silk Roads </i>was published in 2015, it became an instant classic. A major reassessment of world history, it compelled us to look at the past from a different perspective. <i>The New Silk Roads</i> brings this story up to date, addressing the present and future of a world that is changing dramatically. <br> <br> Following the Silk Roads eastwards, from Europe through to China, by way of Russia and the Middle East, <i>The New Silk Roads</i> provides a timely reminder that we live in a world that is profoundly interconnected. In an age of Brexit and Trump, the themes of isolation and fragmentation permeating the Western world stand in sharp contrast to events along the Silk Roads since 2015, where ties have been strengthened and mutual cooperation established. With brilliant insight, Peter Frankopan takes a fresh look at the network of relationships being formed along the length and breadth of the Silk Roads today, assessing the global reverberations of these continual shifts in the centre of power all too often absent from headlines in the West. <br> <br> This important and ultimately hopeful book asks us to re-read who we are and where we are in the world, illuminating the themes on which all our lives and livelihood depend.1302Peter Frankopan is Professor of Global History at Oxford University where is also Senior Research Fellow at Worcester College, Oxford and Director the Centre for Byzantine Research. He was Schiff Scholar at Jesus College, Cambridge, and was Senior Scholar at Corpus Christi College, Oxford.

The faceless, shadowy menace of climate change had become, in an instant, deeply personal.<br>Mary Robinson 's mission would lead her all over the world, from Malawi to Mongolia, and to a heartening revelation- that an irrepressible driving force in the battle for climate justice could be found at the grassroots level, mainly among women, many of them mothers and grandmothers like herself. From Sharon Hanshaw, the Mississippi matriarch whose campaign began in her East Biloxi hair salon and culminated in her speaking at the United Nations, to Constance Okollet, a small farmer who transformed the fortunes of her ailing community in rural Uganda, Robinson met with ordinary people whose resilience and ingenuity had already unlocked extraordinary change.<br>Powerful and deeply humane, <i>Climate Justice</i> is a stirring manifesto on one of the most pressing humanitarian issues of our time, and a lucid, affirmative, and well-argued case for hope.1302<b>Mary Robinson</b> is President of the Mary Robinson Foundation - Climate Justice.

We must be mad, literally mad, as a nation to allow the annual inflow of some 50,000 dependents, ' he said. It is like watching a nation busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre. ' <br> <br>Kamal Ahmed was six months ' old at the time of Powell 's speech. Half English, half Sudanese, he was raised in 1970s London with a Raleigh racing bike, rainbow-coloured jumpers, Adidas Gazelle trainers and cords. Yet the anti-immigrant sentiment behind Powell 's infamous Rivers of Blood ' speech reverberated throughout his childhood. He grew up in a society that not infrequently told him, a Londoner born and bred, British down to his Marks and Spencer underwear, to go home '. <br> <br>Fifty years after it was first delivered, Powell 's speech is not only of historical significance, but has disquieting resonance. Ahmed illustrates that Britain 's reaction to the influx of immigrants from the new ' EU countries is an all too familiar story, marked by passion, fear and social cost. Part memoir, part disquisition on a piece of oratory that has clanged discord through the decades, <i>Me Immigrant </i>is Ahmed 's account of feeling like an outsider in the country he was born in.1302Kamal Ahmed is Economics Editor of the BBC and one of Britain 's most respected journalists. He joined the BBC in April 2014 as Business Editor after a twenty-year career in newspapers.

They describe encounters with such varied figures as Jackie Onassis, Camilla Parker-Bowles, Oswald Mosley and Peter Mandelson, while also relating adventures with the humble- a pick-nick ' with the stonemasons at Kardamyli, or a drunken celebration in the Cretan mountains with his old comrades from the Resistance, most of them simple shepherds and goatherds.

Its aim is to enable the reader to recognise, understand and date any British building. <br>As Matthew Rice says, Once you can speak any language, conversation can begin, but without it communications can only be brief and brutish. The same is the case with Architecture- an inability to describe the component parts of a building leaves one tongue-tied and unable to begin to discuss what is or is not exciting, dull or peculiar about it.' <i>The Language of Buildings</i> will explain the language of architecture. With it in your hand, bag or car, buildings will break down beguilingly into their component parts, ready for inspection and discussion. There will be no more references to that curly bit on top of the thing with the square protrusions. Ungainly and inept descriptions will be a thing of the past and, fluent in the world of volutes, hood moulds, lobed architraves and bucrania, you will be able to leave a cathedral or country house with as much to talk about as a film or play. <br><i>The Language of Buildings</i> starts with an explanation of the basic Grammar' of buildings- elevation, plan, roof, gable and eave. This will enable the reader to better make use of what is to follow. It will also cover the Orders of Architecture - Doric, Tuscan, Ionic, Corinthian and Composite - so that the vital basics of Classicism are covered. Following this is the Vocabulary'. This will be a chronological reference section covering, period by period, the windows, doors and doorcases, columns, chimneys, arches, balustrades and pediments that make up the built environment.1302Matthew Rice is a writer and illustrator who thought he knew lots about British architecture until he started to write and illustrate this book. His message to readers is, if you want to understand a building, sit in front of it and draw it. You might also have seen his work in Country Life, on his own calendar or on much of his wife Emma Bridgewater's pottery. He lives in Oxford and Norfolk.0902A beautifully packaged, idiosyncratic introduction to British building styles, by the acclaimed illustrator and architectural enthusiast Matthew Rice0401http://media.bloomsbury.com/rep/bj/9781408893784.jpgBloomsbury01Bloomsbury0420180907201801AU NZ01253mm02182mm0326mm08846grUnited Book Distributors02AU NZ21650160237.99AUDAU0239.99NZDNZBLOOMSBURY ADULT07AU040120180907978147295086403021472950860039781472950864159781472950864BCB10601Turned Onhttp://www.bloomsbury.com/au/9781472950864001A01Devlin, Kate304TJFM1BAU0102The idea of the seductive sex robot is the stuff of myth, legend and science fiction. From the ancient Greeks to twenty-first century movies, robots in human form have captured our imagination, our hopes and our fears. But beyond the fantasies there are real and fundamental questions about our relationship with technology as it moves into the realm of robotics. Should we form intimate relationships with machines' Should robots be provided with a sexuality' How will it affect our everyday lives' Can we use them for therapy' Do they breach our laws on obscenity' Could they ever feel love'<br>Sexual activity is central to our very existence; it shapes how we think, how we act and how we live. It is deeply embedded in our society. With advances in technology come machines that may one day think independently. What will happen to us when we form close relationships with these intelligent systems' What, ultimately, does it means to be human in a future of machines' <br>Sex robots are here, and here to stay, and more are coming. This book explores how the emerging and future development of sexual companion robots might affect us, and the society in which we live. It explores the social changes arising from emerging technologies, and our relationships with the machines that may someday care for us and about us.<br>Chapter by chapter, this book will build on the science and the philosophy surrounding our most intimate relationship with technology. The scene is set with the history of the artificial sexual companion, then goes on to explore the modern ' robot and the twentieth century sci-fi that promised us our own robot slaves. This is followed by an explanation of artificial intelligence and the urge to create sentient machines. It delves into our own psychology- how does desire affect our own behaviour, and can we become attached to an inanimate object' This then leads to a discussion of the good (robots making society a better place) and the bad (the potential for all to go wrong).1302Kate Devlin is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Computing at Goldsmiths, University of London. Having begun her career as an archaeologist before moving into computer science, Devlin 's research is in the fields of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), investigating how people interact with and react to technology, to understand how emerging and future technologies will affect us and the society in which we live. <br>Two years ago, Kate began to explore the particular ways in which sex, gender and sexuality might be incorporated into cognitive systems such as sexual companion robots; having assembled a research team of leading academics to work on this topic, she has become a driving force in the field of artificial sexuality. In short, Kate has become the face of sex robots. She has written articles on the subject for <i>New Scientist</i> and the <i>Guardian</i>, appeared on BBC Radios 1 5, and made a number of TV appearances, along with TEDx talks and numerous other tech and philosophy events, receiving significant media coverage on the way.

Opening her eyes onto a watery, two-dimensional landscape, Patient H69 saw an unrecognisably monochromatic world. As colour reappeared, she encountered a range of bizarre phenomena, from synaesthesia to discussions with inanimate objects all part of her brain's response to suddenly losing two sense. And in the process, she became a one-woman experimental subject, as a multidisciplinary team of neurobiologists, psychologists, immunologists and developmental biologists tried to work out what had happened to her, and what incredible things could be learnt from her miraculous recovery.<br>This mesmerising account tells the story of <i>Patient H69 </i>in her own words, based on the detailed audio-diaries she kept during her time of blindness and over the course of the two years of scientific research that was to follow. It provides a unique story of terror and torment in the beginning, moving on to scientific discovery, some pretty weird neurobiology, the brilliance of the NHS and a woman battling against all odds to make the best of a unique situation, turning herself into a science sleuth to uncover the mechanics of her own brain, and learning meditation and self-hypnosis tools to endure the ordeal.<br>Embraced and supported by neuroscientists along the way, Patient H69 learned about some of the hidden, innermost functions of the brain and our complex visual system, while her own case study offered scientists an important, and previously inaccessible window into the process of early visual development, as her own optic nerves self-repaired and her brain went into overdrive.<br>This is a gripping human story, made all the more real by the unique response of one patient and the science she uncovers.1302<b>Patient H69 </b>is the pen-name of <b>Vanessa Potter</b>, who before her illness was an award-winning film producer.

For centuries, the royal families of Western Europe have feared the gut-roiling, vomit-inducing agony of a little something added to their food or wine by an enemy. To avoid poison, they depended on tasters, unicorn horns and antidotes tested on condemned prisoners. Servants licked the royal family 's spoons, tried on their underpants and tested their chamber pots.<br>Ironically, royals terrified of poison were unknowingly poisoning themselves daily with their cosmetics, medications and filthy living conditions. Women wore makeup made with mercury and lead. Men rubbed faeces on their bald spots. Physicians prescribed mercury enemas, arsenic skin cream, drinks of lead filings and potions of human fat and skull, fresh from the executioner. Gazing at gorgeous portraits of centuries past, we don 't see what lies beneath the royal robes and the stench of unwashed bodies; the lice feasting on private parts; and worms nesting in the intestines. In <i>The Royal Art of Poison</i>, Eleanor Herman tells the true story of Europe 's glittering palaces- one of medical bafflement, poisonous cosmetics, ever-present excrement, festering natural illness and, sometimes, murder.1302ELEANOR HERMAN is known as the Sherlock Holmes of history and is the author of several works of popular history including Sex with Kings and Sex with the Queens. She has hosted Lost Worlds for The History Channel and The Madness of Henry VIII for the National Geographic Channel.

In this compelling new biography for the general reader, Kathy Chamberlain brings Jane out of her husband 's shadow, revealing her to be a remarkable woman and writer in her own right. Caught between her own literary aspirations and Victorian society 's oppression of women, Jane Welsh Carlyle hoped to move beyond domestic life and become a respected published writer. As she and her husband moved in exclusive London literary circles, mingling with noted authors, poets, and European revolutionaries, Carlyle created and reported to her correspondents on her rich, rewarding life in her Chelsea home until her husband 's infatuation with a wealthy, imposing aristocratic society hostess threw her life into chaos.1302KATHY CHAMBERLAIN has lectured on Jane Welsh Carlyle 's life at the CUNY Graduate Center and at conferences in the US and UK, and has published numerous essays about Jane Welsh Carlyle and Virginia Woolf, writing reviews for the Virginia Woolf Society of Great Britain.0902<b>The first biography of this highly accomplished writer of the nineteenth century</b>0401http://media.bloomsbury.com/rep/bj/9780715652688.jpgDuckworth Trade01Bloomsbury0220181201201801AU NZ010mm020mm030mm080grUnited Book Distributors02AU NZ100010229.99AUDAU0232.99NZDNZBLOOMSBURY AGENCY07AU020120181201978071565319703020715653199039780715653197159780715653197BCB10601One Kiss or Two?http://www.bloomsbury.com/au/9780715653197001A01Scott, Andy320JFFPBAG0102Every encounter begins with a greeting.

Following what began as a simple policing action, this is the story of the four Royal Naval officers who witnessed how rampant the slave trade remained and made it their personal mission to end it. When the disruption of the trade ships started to step on the toes of the wealthy merchant class, the campaign was cancelled. However, in the end a coalition of naval officers and abolitionists forced the British government 's hand into eradicating the slave trade entirely.<br.<br><i>Squadron</i> grew from historian John Broich 's passion to hunt down first-hand accounts of this untold story. Through research from archives throughout the UK, Broich tells a tale of defiance in the face of political corruption, while delivering thrills in the tradition of high-seas heroism.

For those trying to understand these forms of politics, there is no better place to start than <i>Fascism and Dictatorship</i>, the unrivalled Marxist study of German and Italian fascism. It carefully distinguishes between fascism as a mass movement before the seizure of power and what it becomes as an entrenched machinery of dictatorship. It compares the distinct class components of the counterrevolutionary blocs mobilised by fascism in Germany and Italy; analyses the changing relations between the petty bourgeoisie and big capital in the evolution of fascism; discusses the structures of the fascist state itself, as an emergency regime for the defence of capital; and provides a sustained and documented criticism of official Comintern attitudes and policies towards fascism in the fateful years after the Versailles settlement. <i>Fascism and Dictatorship</i> represents a challenging synthesis of factual evidence and conceptual analysis, a standard bearer of what Marxist political theory should be.1302<b>Nicos Poulantzas</b> was born in Athens in 1936 and died in Paris in 1979.

Born in the North London suburbs, his parents, Harold and Connie, both teachers, first met as teenage Communists in the 1930s Jewish East End. The family home was filled with stories of relatives in London, the United States and France and of those who had disappeared in Europe.<br>Unlike the children around them, Rosen and his brother Brian grew up dreaming of a socialist revolution. Party meetings were held in the front room, summers were for communist camping holidays, till it all changed after a trip to East Germany, when in 1957 his parents decided to leave "the Party." Michael followed his own journey of radical self-discovery- running away to march against the bomb at Aldermaston, writing and performing in experimental political theatre and getting arrested during the 1968 movements.1302Michael Rosen is the author of over 140 books of poetry, stories and politics. He was the Children 's Laureate between 2007 2009 and is currently the Professor of Children 's Literature at Goldsmiths University.

She shows here how we need to rethink education for life. As more and more of us live and work longer than ever before, a National Education Service should, like the NHS, be the framework that ensures a life-long entitlement for all, from early years provision to apprenticeships, universities and adult education. Like the NHS, it should be free at the point of delivery. The purpose of learning is not solely to pass exams but to prepare for living in the world; citizens of the future will need to develop their imaginations as well as their intellects, to be at ease with both knowledge and uncertainty.<br><i>Life Lessons </i>sets out a radical agenda for how we make education for all, and make it relevant to the demands of 21st century. This requires a deep-rooted, long-term vision of the role of learning in our society, one that is ready to take on the challenges of a new century and be part of a wider shift towards greater equality.1302<b>Melissa Benn</b> is a journalist, novelist and campaigner. She has written for the <i>Guardian</i>, the <i>New Statesman</i>, <i>Public Finance</i>, <i>Cosmopolitan</i> and the <i>London Review of Books</i>, among many others.

Here he focuses on the construction of popular identities and how "the people" emerge as a collective actor. Skillfully combining theoretical analysis with a myriad of empirical references from numerous historical and geographical contexts he offers a critical reading of the existing literature on populism, demonstrating its dependency on the theorists of "mass psychology" such as Taine and Freud. He demonstrates the relation of populism to democracy and to the logic of representation, and differentiates his approach from the work of Zizek, Hardt and Negri, and Ranciere. This book is essential reading for all those interested in the question of political identities in a world marked by figures such as Trump, Farage, Le Pen as well as Sanders, Iglesias and Melenchon.1302<b>Ernesto Laclau</b> was Professor of Political Theory in the Department of Government, University of Essex, and Distinguished Professor for Humanities and Rhetorical Studies at Northwestern University.

These provocative essays by long-time activist, writer, and theorist Jeffrey Escoffier tracks the lesbian and gay movements across the contested terrain of American political life. Starting from an urban subculture created by stigmatized and invisible men and women, LGBT movements have had to negotiate the historical tension between the homoeroticism that courses through American culture and virulent outbreaks of homophobic populism. Escoffier explores how every new success whether it 's civil rights, marriage, or cultural recognition also enables new disciplinary and normalizing forms of domination, and why only the active exercise of democratic rights and participation in radical coalitions allows LGBT people to sustain both the benefits of community and the freedom of sexual perversity.1302Jeffrey Escoffier is a Research Associate at the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research and the former director of public health media at the New York City Department of Health. He was the Executive Editor of Socialist Review (Berkeley) and one of the founders of OUT/LOOK- National Lesbian and Gay Quarterly.

First, that the oppression of gays and lesbians is not an isolated case, and therefore their struggle is necessarily part of a larger movement for social liberation. And second, that the experience of gays and lesbians uphold the basic tenants of a foundational marxism, and that they are uniquely placed to contribute to a revitalization of marxist theory.1302Pam Mitchell is a writer and activist.0902To link socialism and lesbianism is to link the unpopular with the taboo0401http://media.bloomsbury.com/rep/bj/9781788732345.jpgVerso Trade01Bloomsbury0220181201201801AU NZ010mm020mm030mm080grUnited Book Distributors02AU NZ1003010224.99AUDAU0226.99NZDNZBLOOMSBURY AGENCY07AU020120181201978178663747503021786637472039781786637475159781786637475BCB10601The Age of Violencehttp://www.bloomsbury.com/au/9781786637475001A01Bertho, Alain144HPSBAG0102"Only martyrs know neither pity nor fear. Believe me, the day when the martyrs are victorious will be the day of universal conflagration". Jacques Lacan made this gloomy prophesy back in 1959- but doesn 't it also apply to our own time' Faced with a rise in attacks around the world, can we really just blame the radicalization of ' Islam '' What hope is there for the alienated youth, as the wars that have ravaged the Middle East spill out across the globe'<br>For Alain Bertho, the mounting chaos we see today is above all driven by the weakening of states ' legitimacy under the pressure of globalization. Add to this the hypocrisy of the elites who beat the drum of 'security measures', even as they sow the seeds of violence around the world. This disorder is the swamp of despair which can only produce fresh atrocities.<br>Today 's youth are the lost children of neoliberal globalization, the inheritors of the political and human chaos it produces. When they find it easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism, their revolt tends to take the paths of martyrdom and despair. The closing of the revolutionary hypothesis allows only fury. The answer, Bertho argues, is a new radicalism, able to inspire a collective hope in the future.1302<b>Alain Bertho is an anthropologist who teaches at the University of Paris 8.

In this classic book, Rodney makes the unflinching case that African maldevelopment is not a natural feature of geography, but a direct product of imperial extraction from the continent, a practice that continues up into the present. Meticulously researched, How Europe Underdeveloped Africa remains an unshakably relevant study of the so-called great divergence between Africa and Europe, just as it remains a prescient resource for grasping the the multiplication of global inequality today.<br>In this new edition, Angela Davis offers a striking foreword to the book, exploring its lasting contributions to a revolutionary and feminist practice of anti-imperialism.1302Walter Rodney was an internationally renowned historian of colonialism and a leader of Black Power and Pan-African movements across the diaspora, most notably the Guyanese Working People 's Alliance. His life and work brought together struggles for independence on the African continent with the strivings of the black working classes of North America and the Caribbean basin.

Not so in today 's Federal Republic, however, where the gears of the so-called elevator society have long since ground to a halt. In the absence of the social mobility of yesterday, widespread social exhaustion and anxiety have emerged across mainstream society. Oliver Nachtwey analyses the reasons for this social rupture in post-war German society and investigates the conflict potential emerging as a result, concluding that although the country has managed to muddle through the Eurocrisis largely unscathed thus far, simmering tensions beneath the surface nevertheless threaten to undermine the German system 's stability in the years to come.<br>Nachtwey's book was recipient of the Friedrich Ebert Foundation 's 2016 Hans-Matthufer-Preis for Economic Writing.1302Oliver Nachtwey is Associate Professor of Social Structure Analysis at the University of Basel, and a fellow at the Institute for Social Research in Frankfurt.

My bucket list was empty. Life was full -But sailing towards me was a boat that would stir the waters, waking decades of loss, revealing history untold, and restoring a legacy that was lost in the wind. For her and for me, I had to wade into that water. I had to go, to search, to find. '<br>This is a love story about a woman and a boat.<br>Having fallen hopelessly in love with a 1930s Danish spidsgatter, a beautifully constructed 25 ft wooden double-ender, Kaci embarks on an international search to unravel the mystery of the boat 's past, and discovers the many lives <i>Pax</i> touched since she first hit the water in 1936. Kaci Cronkhite 's seven year search for <i>Pax</i> 's history is an elegant little gem, taking the reader aboard not only for sublime, wind-filled sails but also to eavesdrop the conversations and relationships that are built as she learns more about Pax 's past, whilst hugely enjoying her present.<i><br>Finding Pax</i> is a story of discovery and reconnection like no other. The writing is poetic, spare, and full of wisdom- In sailing, in weather, in life and death, answers are not endings and questions are not to be feared. The unknowns keep us moving forward. '<br>Kaci originally published the story of her and <i>Pax</i> in a limited number of bespoke editions, but they proved so popular, reaching readers she never expected to reach, and provoking unexpected questions from those who wanted to find out more, that she revised and expanded the book for this new international edition.1302<b>Kaci Cronkhite</b> is a writer whose work radiates a passion for adventures combining wind, travel, history, and legacy.

They enjoy a freedom that even humans, with all our technological assistance, can barely imagine. Many species travel mind-boggling distances across the length and breadth of our planet before returning to land to breed in large, deafening and confusingly crowded colonies. Yet within this commotion each mated pair forms a bond of extreme closeness and tenderness that survives separation each winter and may persist for decades.<br> The long and geologically varied coastline of the British Isles provides homes for internationally important numbers of breeding seabirds. Visiting their colonies is always unforgettable, whether they are cliff-faces packed with Guillemots, islands white-capped by clustered Gannets on their nests, flat beaches crowded with screaming Arctic Terns or seaside rooftops overlaid with a second townscape of nesting gulls. The changing fortunes of these seabird cities reveal to us the health of the vast, unseen but incredibly rich marine world that surrounds us.<br> <i>RSPB Seabirds </i>showcases some of our most exciting and enigmatic bird species as vital and living components of one of our greatest natural assets- our coastline. The author presents detailed biographies of all the seabird species that breed in and around the British Isles, and also looks at the many species that breed elsewhere but which, regularly or occasionally, visit British waters. Every page of this sumptuous book features beautiful photographs of wild seabirds engaged in their daily work of hunting, travelling, protecting themselves and their territories, courting and raising a family.1302<b>Marianne Taylor</b> is a freelance writer, illustrator, photographer and editor.

Outnumbered by the USN, the Imperial Japanese Navy planned to use its large, ocean-going submarines to chip away at its opponent before the grand battle. In order to accomplish this, the IJN 's submarine force was tasked to perform extended reconnaissance of the USN 's battle fleet, even in port, and then shadow and attack it.<br>For their part, the USN was fully aware of the potential threat posed by Japanese submarines, and destroyer crews were trained and equipped with modern anti-submarine weapons and tactics to screen the battle fleet. <br>Challenging the assumption that Japanese submarines were ineffective during the Pacific War, this fully illustrated study examines their encounters with the US Navy, and the successes and failures of American destroyers in protecting their capital ships.1302<b>Mark E.

Its sleek and unmistakable shape was a warning to any nation that wanted to stand against the Soviet empire. <br>But when the truth was known and while it was a technological marvel of its day and a breakthrough in armoured vehicle design it was essentially the perfect tank to fight the Great Patriotic War (World War II) and not as advanced as it seemed from its appearances. Fitted with monolithic homogenous armor, it was vulnerable to both the developing high explosive anti-tank warheads on newly developed anti-tank guided missiles as well as the other major development used by the NATO armies, armor piercing discarding sabot projectiles made of hard, dense core materials. When their tanks began to clash with the Western armoured vehicles in proxy wars in Southeast Asia and the Middle East they were found to be on the losing end of many of the battles. <br>The tank was due to the work of a number of brilliant Soviet designers such as F. F. Petrov who created its lightweight and powerful 100mm gun and I.Ya. Trashutin, the designer of the V-2 series of diesel engines; however, the concept of the vehicle was from the mind of one man- Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Morozov. One of the three principle designers of the legendary T-34 tank, Morozov was motivated by the fact that that tank was actually the brainchild of Mikhail Koshkin and wanted to put his own stamp on the Soviet tank industry with a unique creation. While he achieved this with the T-54 series of tanks, it was not enough; later he would go on to create the even more revolutionary T-64 series tanks. The T-54 series was produced in both the USSR and abroad with major runs of T-54 tanks coming from Poland, Czechoslovakia, and the Peoples Republic of China, as well as the later T-55 redesign of the vehicle from Nizhniy Tagil and follow-on Chinese designs. This book will only address the Soviet-built tanks and their derivatives such as the ZSU-57, SU-122-54, BTS retrievers and MTU bridge launchers.1302Stephen L.

These troops, both from the northern steppes and the Persian frontiers, continued an ancient tradition of using heavy armour and long lances, and fought in a compact formation for maximum shock effect. They were quite distinct from conventional Roman light cavalry, and they served across the Empire, including in Britain. They became ever more important during the 3rd century wars against Parthia, both to counter their cavalry and to form a mobile strategic reserve.<br>Displaying these impressive and imposing cavalry units using vivid specially commissioned artwork, this first book in a two part series on Roman Heavy Cavalry examines their use over the Imperial period up to the fall of Western Empire in the 5th century A.D.<br><b></b>1302<b>Dr Raffaele D 'Amato</b> is an experienced Turin-based researcher of the ancient and medieval military worlds.

Eschewing a conventionally direct approach to architectural objects to iconic buildings and big-name architects she instead explores the background of architectural practice, to introduce the creative ecologies in which architecture exists only in relation to other objects and ideas. <BR>Consisting of a series of philosophical encounters with architectural practice that are neither neatly located in one domain nor the other, this book is concerned with other ways of doing architecture '. It examines architecture at the limits where it is muddied by alternative disciplinary influences whether art practice, philosophy or literature. Frichot meets a range of creative characters who work at the peripheries, and who challenge the central assumptions of the discipline, showing that there is no core of architecture ' there is rather architecture as a multiplicity of diverse concerns in engagement with local environments and worlds.<BR>From an author well-known in the disciplines of architecture and philosophy for her scholarship on Deleuze, this is a radical, accessible, and highly-original approach to design research, deftly engaging with an array of current topics from the Anthropocene to affect theory, new materialism contemporary feminism.<BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>1302Helene Frichot is Associate Professor and Docent in Critical Studies in Architecture, KTH School of Architecture, Stockholm, and Adjunct Professor in the School of Architecture and Design, RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia.<BR> <BR>0902Combining architecture and philosophy to examine how contemporary architecture is theorized and practiced at its limits<BR>0401http://media.bloomsbury.com/rep/bj/9781350042087.jpgBloomsbury Visual Arts01Bloomsbury0220181213201801AU NZ010mm020mm030mm080grUnited Book Distributors02AU NZ100010247.99AUDAU0252.99NZDNZBLOOMSBURY ACADEMIC07AU020120181213978147256798703021472567986039781472567987159781472567987BCB10601Designing for Societyhttp://www.bloomsbury.com/au/9781472567987001A01Tromp, Nynke, Hekkert, Paul1224AKPBAC0102Our globalised world is encountering problems on an unprecedented scale.

Modern examples from a wide range of media and genres including Philip Pullman 's <i>His Dark Materials </i>and the novels of Helen Oyeyemi, the <i>Rocky Horror Picture Show </i>and Hayao Miyazaki 's <i>Spirited Away</i>, and the role-playing games <i>Dungeons and Dragons </i>and <i>Warhammer 40K </i>are brought alongside episodes from ancient myth, important moments from history, and more. <br> <br>All together, these multifaceted studies add to our understanding of how science fiction and fantasy form important areas of classical reception, not only transmitting but also transmuting images of antiquity.

Set against the backdrop of a quarter century of research and theorising arising out of the new social studies of childhood, each of the 13 original contributions strives to extend the conceptual reach and relevance of the work being undertaken in the dynamic and expanding field of childhood studies in the 21st century. <br>Internationally renowned contributors engage with contemporary scholarship from both the global north and south to address questions of power, inequity, reflexivity, subjectivities and representation from poststructuralist, posthumanist, postcolonial, feminist, queer studies and political economy perspectives. In so doing, the book provides a deconstructive and reconstructive dialogue, offering a renewed agenda for future scholarship. The book also moves the insights of childhood studies beyond the boundaries of this field, helping to mainstream insights about children 's everyday lives from this burgeoning area of study and avoid the dangers of marginalizing both children and scholarship about childhood. This carefully curated collection extends beyond critiques of specified research arenas, traditions, concepts or approaches to serve as a bridge in the transformation of childhood studies at this important juncture in its history.1302<b>Spyros Spyrou</b> is Professor of Anthropology and Sociology at the European University Cyprus, Cyprus.

The fact that we often hum to ourselves, to family members, or to close friends suggests that humming is a personal, intimate act. It can also be a powerful way in which people open up to others and share collective memories. In religious settings such as Tibetan chanting, humming offers a mesmerising sonic experience. Then there are hums that resound regardless of human activity, such as the hums of impersonal objects and man-made or natural phenomena.<br>The first sound studies book to explores the topic of humming, <i>Humming</i> offers a unique examination of the polarising categories of hums, from hums that are performed only to oneself, that are exercised in religious practice, that claim healing, and that resonate with our bodies, to hums that can drive people to madness, that emanate from cities and towns, and that resound in the universe. By acknowledging the quirkiness of hums within the established discourse in sound studies, <i>Humming </i>takes a truly interdisciplinary view on this familiar yet less-trodden sonic concept in sound studies.1302<b>Suk-Jun Kim </b>is Lecturer in Electroacoustic Music and Sound Art and Programme Director of MMus in Sonic Arts at the University of Aberdeen, UK.0902From a gentle and soothing voice that is personal and intimate to hums that are mystical, impersonal and maddening, this book provides an anthropology of the concept of humming through the discipline of sound studies.0401http://media.bloomsbury.com/rep/bj/9781501324611.jpgBloomsbury Academic01Bloomsbury0220181213201801AU NZ010mm020mm030mm080grUnited Book Distributors02AU NZ100010229.99AUDAU0232.99NZDNZBLOOMSBURY ACADEMIC07AU020120181213978135008053903021350080535039781350080539159781350080539BCB10601The Seahttp://www.bloomsbury.com/au/9781350080539001A01Krell, David Farrell256HPCBAC0102Humankind has a profound and complex relationship with the sea, a relationship that is extensively reflected in biology, psychology, religion, literature and poetry. The sea cradles and soothes us, we visit it often for solace and inspiration, it is familiar, being the place where life ultimately began. Yet the sea is also dark and mysterious and often spells catastrophe and death. The sea is a set of contradictions- kind, cruel, indifferent. She is a blind will that will have her way '. In exploring this most capricious of phenomena, David Farell Krell engages the work of an array of thinkers and writers including, but not limited to, Homer, Thales, Anaximander, Heraclitus, Plato, Aristotle, Hulderlin, Melville, Woolf, Whitman, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Schelling, Ferenczi, Rank and Freud. <br><i>The Sea </i>explores the significance in Western civilization of the catastrophic and generative power of the sea and what humankind 's complex relationship with it reveals about the human condition, human consciousness, temporality, striving, anxiety, happiness and mortality.1302<b>David Farrell Krell</b> is Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at DePaul University, Chicago, and Brauer Distinguished Visiting Professor of German Studies at Brown University, Providence, USA.

The "Austerity" model has been the prevalent European economic policies of recent years led by the "German model".

Kao, Grace176HRABAC0102Many women of faith are interested in having deep conversations with their friends and families about issues they face in their personal lives. Unfortunately, there is a dearth of feminist and theologically progressive materials for these women to turn to for counsel or advice. Simultaneously, there are a growing number of theologically trained biblical scholars, theologians, and ministers who are experiencing similar life challenges, but who are generally discouraged from writing about these experiences in ways that would be accessible to the general public. This book bridges the chasm between Christian laywomen and feminist theologians. <br>For the last fifty years, feminist theologians have sought to reimagine Christian theology in ways that speak to the realities and complexities of women 's lives. They have also sought to use women 's experience as the starting point for theological reflection in the same way that men 's lives have shaped the history of Christian theology for the past 2000 years. In this book, feminist Christian scholars of theology and religion use the tools of their trade to examine powerful personal life experiences and to search for new and empowering ways of understanding the power of the sacred as they have experienced it.1302<b>Rebecca Todd Peters</b> is Professor of Religious Studies at Elon University, USA.<br><b>Grace Y.

Torrance sets out the biblical approach to the Resurrection in terms of the intrinsic significance of the resurrected one, Jesus; and demonstrates that the Resurrection is entirely consistent with who Jesus was and what he did. The Resurrection is thus taken realistically, and treated as of the same nature, in the integration of physical and spiritual existence, as the death of Christ. All this is elucidated in the context of modern scientific thought, in such a way as to show that far from being frightened by modern science into a compromise of the New Testament's message of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ in body, it actually allows us to take its full measure. <br>This classic volume from one of the premier English speaking theologian of the 20th century remains an important contribution to the field of systematic theology.

Half English, half Sudanese, he was raised in 1970s London at a time when being mixed-race meant being told to go home, even when you were born just down the road.<br><i>The Life and Times of a Very British Man</i> makes the case for a new conversation about race in Britain through personal stories, political analysis and passionate belief in the ultimate good of this country white, black and brown. Kamal recounts the extraordinary circumstances that led to his father, a proud Sudanese scientist, marrying his mother, a grammar-school educated woman from Yorkshire and the first white person he had ever met. It was a time when wearing a miniskirt was an act of social rebellion, when niggers ' and coloureds ' still formed part of the national lexicon and when Enoch Powell 's infamous Rivers of Blood ' speech cast a shadow over the childhood of a schoolboy in Ealing. <br>Witty and humane, this is a modern state-of-the-nation from a man who adopted the name Neil growing up (it was better than 'camel') and went on to occupy one of the most elite positions in the British establishment. It is also a call to recognise that this very British mix is the foundation for Britain as we know it from Linford Christie taking Olympic gold to the era-defining music of Soul II Soul and a study of why, when we consider the often fractious debate about our identity, there are still great grounds for optimism.1302Kamal Ahmed is Economics Editor of the BBC and one of Britain 's most respected journalists.

The scene is set with the history of the artificial sexual companion, then goes on to explore the modern ' robot and the twentieth century sci-fi that promised us our own robot slaves. This is followed by an explanation of artificial intelligence and the urge to create sentient machines. It delves into our own psychology- how does desire affect our own behaviour, and can we become attached to an inanimate object' This then leads to a discussion of the good (robots making society a better place) and the bad (the potential for all to go wrong).1302Kate Devlin is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Computing at Goldsmiths, University of London. Having begun her career as an archaeologist before moving into computer science, Devlin 's research is in the fields of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), investigating how people interact with and react to technology, to understand how emerging and future technologies will affect us and the society in which we live. <br>Two years ago, Kate began to explore the particular ways in which sex, gender and sexuality might be incorporated into cognitive systems such as sexual companion robots; having assembled a research team of leading academics to work on this topic, she has become a driving force in the field of artificial sexuality. In short, Kate has become the face of sex robots. She has written articles on the subject for <i>New Scientist</i> and the <i>Guardian</i>, appeared on BBC Radios 1 5, and made a number of TV appearances, along with TEDx talks and numerous other tech and philosophy events, receiving significant media coverage on the way. Kate recently achieved the ultimate accolade of being misquoted in the <i>Daily Mail</i>.0902An exploration of humans, sexuality, interaction and technology through the lens of the sex robot.0401http://media.bloomsbury.com/rep/bj/9781472950895.jpgSigma01Bloomsbury0220181201201801AU NZ010mm020mm030mm080grUnited Book Distributors02AU NZ100010232.99AUDAU0234.99NZDNZBLOOMSBURY ADULT07AU020120181201978178607408903021786074087039781786074089159781786074089BBB40201Democracy Hackedhttp://www.bloomsbury.com/au/9781786074089001A01Moore, Martin256JPBAG0102Democracies are being gamed.

Most significant are the texts from and interviews with former slaves themselves, ranging from the famous Solomon Northup to the virtually unknown Mary Reynolds, sold away from her mother and subsequently bought back because after losing her daughter the family 's wet nurse began to waste away from grief.

Creativity is heralded as the driving force of our contemporary society; celebrated as agile, progressive and liberating. It is the spring of the knowledge economy and shapes the cities we inhabit. It even defines our politics. What could possibly be wrong with this'<br>In this brilliant, counter intuitive blast Oli Mould demands that we rethink the story we are being sold. Behind the novelty, he shows that creativity is a barely hidden form of neoliberal appropriation. It is a regime that prioritizes individual success over collective flourishing. It refuses to recognise anything - job, place, person - that is not profitable. And it impacts on everything around us- the places where we work, the way we are managed, how we spend our leisure time. <br>Is there an alternative' Mould offers a radical redefinition of creativity, one embedded in the idea of collective flourishing, outside the tyranny of profit.

Not so in today 's Federal Republic, however, where the gears of the so-called elevator society have long since ground to a halt. In the absence of the social mobility of yesterday, widespread social exhaustion and anxiety have emerged across mainstream society. Oliver Nachtwey analyses the reasons for this social rupture in post-war German society and investigates the conflict potential emerging as a result, concluding that although the country has managed to muddle through the Eurocrisis largely unscathed thus far, simmering tensions beneath the surface nevertheless threaten to undermine the German system 's stability in the years to come.<br>Nachtwey's book was recipient of the Friedrich Ebert Foundation 's 2016 Hans-Matthufer-Preis for Economic Writing.1302Oliver Nachtwey is Associate Professor of Social Structure Analysis at the University of Basel, and a fellow at the Institute for Social Research in Frankfurt.

They were predominantly victims of deprivation in the East End, who went to St. John 's to convalesce. Also taken in were orphan girls who were trained for domestic service. The home adapted itself to the needs of a different world in 1957 by becoming a residential school for children with special needs. It has since extended its site and its age range to become a nationally acknowledged centre for those aged five to 25 with autism and other related conditions. The story of St. John 's is interspersed with many contemporary photographs and with personal accounts from young people who went there to convalesce in the middle of the last century. Feature articles help to place it in the context of the wider world. The book makes clear that the level of care extended to young people has remained constant throughout the 100 years since the death of Sister Jane.1302Simon Smith has lived in Brighton for 40 years and is currently Chairman of the Kemp Town Society.

Yet until now, no study has explored the ways in which photography helped mythologize the tomb of Tutankhamun, nor the role photography played in shaping archaeological methods and interpretations, both in and beyond the field. <br>This book undertakes the first critical analysis of the photographic archive formed during the ten-year clearance of the tomb, and in doing so explores the interface between photography and archaeology at a pivotal time for both. <i>Photographing Tutankhamun </i>foregrounds photography as a material, technical, and social process in early 20th-century archaeology, in order to question how the photograph made and remade ancient Egypt ' in the waning age of colonial order.1302<b>Christina Riggs</b> is a historian of archaeology, photography, and ancient Egyptian art.

Eschewing a conventionally direct approach to architectural objects to iconic buildings and big-name architects she instead explores the background of architectural practice, to introduce the creative ecologies in which architecture exists only in relation to other objects and ideas. <br>Consisting of a series of philosophical encounters with architectural practice that are neither neatly located in one domain nor the other, this book is concerned with other ways of doing architecture '. It examines architecture at the limits where it is muddied by alternative disciplinary influences whether art practice, philosophy or literature. Frichot meets a range of creative characters who work at the peripheries, and who challenge the central assumptions of the discipline, showing that there is no core of architecture ' there is rather architecture as a multiplicity of diverse concerns in engagement with local environments and worlds.<br>From an author well-known in the disciplines of architecture and philosophy for her scholarship on Deleuze, this is a radical, accessible, and highly-original approach to design research, deftly engaging with an array of current topics from the Anthropocene to affect theory, new materialism contemporary feminism.1302<b>Hel ne Frichot </b>is Professor in Critical Studies in Architecture, KTH School of Architecture, Stockholm Sweden.

Many of the issues we face as societies extend beyond the borders of our nations. Phenomena such as terrorism, climate change, immigration, cybercrime and poverty can no longer be understood without considering the complex socio-technical systems that support our way of living. It is widely acknowledged that to contend with any of the pressing issues of our time, we have to substantially adapt our lifestyles. To adequately counteract the problems of our time, we need interventions that help us actually adopt the behaviours that lead us toward a more sustainable and ethically just future.<br> <br>In <i>Designing for Society</i>, Paul Hekkert and Nynke Tromp provide a hands-on tool for design professionals and students who wish to use design to counteract social issues.

Modern examples from a wide range of media and genres including Philip Pullman 's <i>His Dark Materials </i>and the novels of Helen Oyeyemi, the <i>Rocky Horror Picture Show </i>and Hayao Miyazaki 's <i>Spirited Away</i>, and the role-playing games <i>Dungeons and Dragons </i>and <i>Warhammer 40K </i>are brought alongside episodes from ancient myth, important moments from history, and more. <br> <br>All together, these multifaceted studies add to our understanding of how science fiction and fantasy form important areas of classical reception, not only transmitting but also transmuting images of antiquity.

Set against the backdrop of a quarter century of research and theorising arising out of the new social studies of childhood, each of the 13 original contributions strives to extend the conceptual reach and relevance of the work being undertaken in the dynamic and expanding field of childhood studies in the 21st century. <br>Internationally renowned contributors engage with contemporary scholarship from both the global north and south to address questions of power, inequity, reflexivity, subjectivities and representation from poststructuralist, posthumanist, postcolonial, feminist, queer studies and political economy perspectives. In so doing, the book provides a deconstructive and reconstructive dialogue, offering a renewed agenda for future scholarship. The book also moves the insights of childhood studies beyond the boundaries of this field, helping to mainstream insights about children 's everyday lives from this burgeoning area of study and avoid the dangers of marginalizing both children and scholarship about childhood. This carefully curated collection extends beyond critiques of specified research arenas, traditions, concepts or approaches to serve as a bridge in the transformation of childhood studies at this important juncture in its history.1302<b>Spyros Spyrou</b> is Professor of Anthropology and Sociology at the European University Cyprus, Cyprus.

The fact that we often hum to ourselves, to family members, or to close friends suggests that humming is a personal, intimate act. It can also be a powerful way in which people open up to others and share collective memories. In religious settings such as Tibetan chanting, humming offers a mesmerising sonic experience. Then there are hums that resound regardless of human activity, such as the hums of impersonal objects and man-made or natural phenomena.<br>The first sound studies book to explores the topic of humming, <i>Humming</i> offers a unique examination of the polarising categories of hums, from hums that are performed only to oneself, that are exercised in religious practice, that claim healing, and that resonate with our bodies, to hums that can drive people to madness, that emanate from cities and towns, and that resound in the universe. By acknowledging the quirkiness of hums within the established discourse in sound studies, <i>Humming </i>takes a truly interdisciplinary view on this familiar yet less-trodden sonic concept in sound studies.1302<b>Suk-Jun Kim </b>is Lecturer in Electroacoustic Music and Sound Art and Programme Director of MMus in Sonic Arts at the University of Aberdeen, UK.0902From a gentle and soothing voice that is personal and intimate to hums that are mystical, impersonal and maddening, this book provides an anthropology of the concept of humming through the discipline of sound studies.0401http://media.bloomsbury.com/rep/bj/9781501324604.jpgBloomsbury Academic01Bloomsbury0420181213201801AU NZ010mm020mm030mm080grUnited Book Distributors02AU NZ230010289.99AUDAU0298.99NZDNZBLOOMSBURY ACADEMIC07AU040120181213978135007671603021350076716039781350076716159781350076716BBB40201The Seahttp://www.bloomsbury.com/au/9781350076716001A01Krell, David Farrell256HPCBAC0102Humankind has a profound and complex relationship with the sea, a relationship that is extensively reflected in biology, psychology, religion, literature and poetry. The sea cradles and soothes us, we visit it often for solace and inspiration, it is familiar, being the place where life ultimately began. Yet the sea is also dark and mysterious and often spells catastrophe and death. The sea is a set of contradictions- kind, cruel, indifferent. She is a blind will that will have her way '.

The "Austerity" model has been the prevalent European economic policies of recent years led by the "German model". Elletra Stimilli draws upon contemporary philosophy, psychology and theology to argue that austerity is built on the idea that we somehow <i>deserve</i> to be punished and need to experience guilt in order to take full account of our economic sins. Following thinkers such as Max Weber, Walter Benjamin and Michel Foucault, <i>Debt and Guilt</i> provides a startling examination of the relationship between contemporary politics and economics and how we structure our inner lives. <br>The first English translation of <i>Debito e Colpa</i>, this book will provoke new ways of thinking about how we experience both debt and guilt in contemporary society.1302<b>Elettra Stimilli </b>is Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the Sapienza University of Rome, Italy.

The aim of the series is to make clear Augustine 's importance to contemporary thought and to present Augustine not only or primarily as a pre-eminent Christian thinker but as a philosophical, spiritual, literary and intellectual icon of the West.<br>Why did the ancients come to adopt monotheism and Christianity' <i>On God, The Soul, Evil and the Rise of Christianity</i><i> </i>introduces possible answers to that question by looking closely at the development of the thought of Augustine of Hippo, whose complex spiritual trajectory included Gnosticism, academic skepticism, pagan Platonism, and orthodox Christianity. What was so compelling about Christianity and how did Augustine become convinced that his soul could enter into communion with a transcendent God' <br>The apparently sudden shift of ancient culture to monotheism and Christianity was momentous, defining the subsequent nature of Western religion and thought. John Peter Kenney shows us that Augustine offers an unusually clear vantage point to understand the essential ideas that drove that transition.1302<b>John Peter Kenney </b>is Professor of Religious Studies at Saint Michael 's College, USA.

Kao, Grace176HRABAC0102Many women of faith are interested in having deep conversations with their friends and families about issues they face in their personal lives. Unfortunately, there is a dearth of feminist and theologically progressive materials for these women to turn to for counsel or advice. Simultaneously, there are a growing number of theologically trained biblical scholars, theologians, and ministers who are experiencing similar life challenges, but who are generally discouraged from writing about these experiences in ways that would be accessible to the general public. This book bridges the chasm between Christian laywomen and feminist theologians. <br>For the last fifty years, feminist theologians have sought to reimagine Christian theology in ways that speak to the realities and complexities of women 's lives. They have also sought to use women 's experience as the starting point for theological reflection in the same way that men 's lives have shaped the history of Christian theology for the past 2000 years. In this book, feminist Christian scholars of theology and religion use the tools of their trade to examine powerful personal life experiences and to search for new and empowering ways of understanding the power of the sacred as they have experienced it.1302<b>Rebecca Todd Peters</b> is Professor of Religious Studies at Elon University, USA.<br><b>Grace Y.
